martini 44mag

[jbunny]

this is my latest project, Ron Smith stainless barrel
on a greener police martini action which i call my
black and white. i just put it all together an hour ago
and i'm of to the range. i used hi see through mounts
so no problems with loading and ejecting. barrel is 21inches. i made a trigger jig for these martini and it works
like a hot dam. more later

Looks sharp! Why 44 mag in particular?

I've always been partial to the martini action and used to shoot one in 45-70 quite a bit. Personally always wanted one in a K-Hornet or another BP cartridge myself.

I'd say you should let us know how it shoots but it would be shocking if it's not excellent.

thanks for the kind words. why 44 mag??? mainly ecomics.
brass, bullets(especialy cast), are half of rifle. u use way less powder. a 240 gr bullet going 1800 fpm will kill
anything around here, out to 125 yds. yes the martini,
its a winner. now to find a load for jacketed and cast.

A lovely piece of work! I have a .303 carbine "still in progress" (sigh) whose shot-out barrel has been replaced with an SMLE one. Your post reminded me of the .310 Cadet sulking in my gun cabinet that I have been meaning to send off to Ron S, to be rebored to .357 mag. Thanks for the reminder!
